The enlargement of the Eiffel Tower by the Serero Architects Studio

Translated by Silvia – An early April’s Fool joke that will make you think about how word of mouth on the internet is ever more powerful: the news of the enlargement of the top part of the Eiffel Tower for the 120^th anniversary of its construction that will fall in 2009 was indeed a hoax. The denied piece of news comes from the actual Société d’Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel (SETE), the agency that takes care of the management of the monument, symbol of the French capital by excellence, and without a doubt one of the most famous towers in the world.
